Guild Wars 2

join the COE “expert only” pug, and ending soloing Alpha with s/h while the longbow war lies dead with the other 3 ppl at range…

Dreamer + Moot

and gratz!

A suggestion about signets another user made in an old thread, it really could open new possibilities of party support:

UNTRAITED: by default active also apply to ranger
TRAITED: active will apply to allies as well

Skady.5916:

They should just make it so with Signet of the Beastmaster passive effects of signets affect allies and active affect both pet and ranger by default.

Suddenly Ranger will be viable in groups and maybe even dungeons

I totally support this!

Ranger using signets here.
I run a 30/20/20 build with zerker gear.
In dungeons I always have Spotter, Off-hand Training , s/w and Healing Spring.

My second set changes according to the situation, it can be GS, x/axe (#5 is a good projectile reflect + a nice burst) or, in few occasions, LB or x/torch.

For the moment I think Signet of the Wild and Signet of Stone are great for my pets durabilty. A dead pet means about 20% of my DPS lost.
I also use Signet of the Beastmaster trait (= active effect applies also on ranger), so stability+invulnerability can be useful not only to save my animal, but also to save me while reviving a downed ally focused by the boss and thus left alone by the other party memebers (yes, I only do pug).

My third utilities is changed here and there, if possibile Frost Spirit is welcome, but there are encounters where it just dies too soon no matter the position.

I don’t know if you consider this a selfish build, I am still trying to find a balance between support (the very little ranger can do) and self effectivness.

I share my opinions:

At the moment LS is mostly not involving for me, what I miss is an interesting plot to follow.
I liked the chapter of the vote. Since I felt I had a role, I enjoyed my time dedicated to the LS.
Unfortunately the other chapters weren’t able to keep my interest alive.

I think it would be a great improvement if you find a way to give us the story ingame. Having to check on websites breaks immersion, while the possibility to track the story ingame could keep the player interested in the events and their consequences.

I support the idea of a slower release schedule, it will help losing the feeling of “rush or lose”.

The question about tv shows seems a bit strange to me! I like what convoy feelings and brings me into the story.
I prefer naming Robert Jordan’ s"The wheel of Time" book series as a model.
A main story divided into a wide variety of threads and characters.
Their growth, alongside the plot getting complex and variegated are the reasons I love it.

Hi,
I’m asking here to bring back the Karma rewards in dungeon.
My proposal is to let us choose, at the end, between Karma or the new Materials, like the PS reward interface.

Why?
I like to level varius alts and I don’t like crafting at all.
Before the change my dungeon runs granted me a good amount of Karma, which I could use to gear up my levelling alts via the heart tasks.
It was a cheap way to keep my gear update, and a motivation in doing heart tasks again on alts.

Now my alts just skip the heart tasks, and my 80s keep getting materials I have to destroy (since they are not sellable).

Any thought?

Since many of the posts in this forums seems to discourage in trying almost everything, I’d like to share my recent experience on Arah p4.

Last Saturday I had a PUG of 5 first timers, for 1 of us (a ranger, shame on us) it was also the first time in Arah, but we manage to complete the path.

Two of us did our homework by reading and watching guides, the others were kind enough to follow our tips.
We obviously weren’t a speed clear group, it tooks about 3 hours with few wipes (on thrash mobs!) to finish it, but it was not the tragedy I expected by reading the forum.

TDLR
Don’t be discouraged by negative experiences, you can play your class the way you want, also with casual groups. You will be able to get the results. It may only require more time.

PS: no player has been hurted, kicked, flamed, chilled and so on during the run

Thanks for reading.

Nidh Summerveil

For half of your lifetime you can get shinigami eyes to see his actual name..
:P

Thanks a lot, since I’m not in a guild and I prefer not joining any, I guess i’ll go on with non exotic!

Does a lv 80 exotic backpiece with berserker stats exists?
How can i purchase it?

I can’t find the info on the wiki….

Thanks in advance for your help.

Eilis Vinterseidh (elementalist)
Stille Njordvor (ranger)
Nidh Somervill (mesmer)

I would like to transmute the necro starter mask on my exotic 80.
When I use the trasmutation stone I add the starter mask, the rune already equipped in my exotic disappears. I tried to invert the order but nothing changes.
At the moment I never confirmed the operation.
Anyone knows if I will lose the rune?

Thanks in advance for your help.

The problem I’d like to report regards the Norn T2 Cultural armor top.
My character is a (Norn) -female- elementalist
Every time I go underwater the sleeve change it’s appearence as shown in the pic.
Atm I’m wearing the (light) cultural T2 transmutated on the crafted 80 exotic, but the issue happened also on the non trasmutated cultural, regardless of the other pieces of armors I’m wearing, and regardless of the dye applied.
To solve the problem I have to unequip and re-equip the armor.
